This tipping of the defense hand came suddenly this morning when Attorney Wilmon Tucker asked Arthur Hatton, bookkeeper for the Billingsleys if he was not present at the Navarre hotel when Logan revealed a part of his scheme. Tucker read from what appeared to be a long affidavit by Fey. It was involved and Hatton answered, “I don’t remember,” but the crowd listened intently and grasped the fact that the founda- tion was being laid for more amazing revelations in the sensational trial of Mayor Gill, Chief Beckingham, ex-Sheriff Hodge and City Detectives Peyser, Poolman, McLennan and Doom.
